), the story revolves around Aude and Benjamin, who have been in love for six years. Because Aude suffers deeply as a result of not being able to have a child, Benjamin decides that he will be the one to have the baby. Production duties were handled by Willow Films (the company run by the filmmaker herself), and Pyramide will release the film in France.

The Pyramide sales team, overseen by Agathe Mauruc, will be negotiating deals for another title bearing the Cannes 73 Official Selection label: the French-Belgian co-production Simple Passion [+lee también:

by Lebanese helmer Danielle Arbid. Laetitia Dosch and Ukraine’s Sergueï Polunin play the main roles in this adaptation of the Annie Ernaux novel, which is centred on a romantic obsession that is summed up fairly well by the synopsis: “Since last September, I have done nothing but wait for a man: for him to call me and come to my place... Everything about him was so precious to me, his eyes, his mouth, his penis, his childhood memories, his voice…” Production duties were entrusted to Les Films Pelléas, with Belgium’s Versus on board as a co-producer.

Recent additions to the line-up include a documentary in post-production, Gallant Indies [+lee también:

It is being produced by Les Films Pelléas, with Arte France Cinéma on board as a co-producer.
